Unlike a regular book, it’s designed to quickly get you up to speed with basic photography principles, and provides a platform for you to experiment and refine your techniques. This is not another e-book on photography theory. Instead, Andy provides plenty of hand-holding using easy-to-understand conversational language.
Learn to take better pictures in 4 hours with this e-book!

We start off with a section of ‘Photography Exercises’ to familiarize you with the basic techniques of photography, using a show-and-tell approach. This breakthrough approach has been proven time and again to be effective in getting beginners to start experimenting intelligently with photography. Andy’s approach emphasizes deep understanding, and strives to make photography simple.

In the accompanying section called ‘Analyzing The Shot’ Andy takes you through his thought process with the photographs that he has taken, describing how he arrived at the combination of settings used for each shot, and further advice on how you can apply these techniques to your own photographs.

Lastly, great care has been taken to design an e-book that is easy to use, elegantly crafted and most importantly effective in teaching you photography. This e-book is horizontally laid-out, which maximizes your screen area for reading (instead of the portrait orientation that many e-books use). Paragraphs are narrower for easier reading, and diagrams/photos are used throughout to illustrate each point.

Portrait Lighting Guide


This series of guides aims to help photographers master a key aspect of wedding and portrait photography, which is lighting using a variety of methods: speedlights, available light as well as natural light.



Available light does not always mean natural light, because available light can come from any light source, including the overhead spot light used in a wedding ballroom.

SimpleSLR Portrait Lighting is the anchor guide that will help you create portraits at the speed of light. I will show you simple lighting techniques that create powerful results, which can be put together very quickly using the most basic equipment. This is the first guide you should purchase as it contains foundation skills for using speedlights effectively.


Portrait Lighting Techniques On-the-job skills of a wedding and portrait photographer, revealed using an approach that is easy to understand. Available to you at prices that are a steal!

Efficiently Organized Pages packed with useful information and how-to diagrams. Illustrated with actual portraits by professional photographer Andy Lim.

Less Is More Contrary to popular belief that more pages are better, SimpleSLR digital photography e-books get the point across with fewer pages.

eBook: Rabari – Encounters with the Nomadic Tribe

Just before the closing of the this year I would like to mention a great Ebook I received from my friend photographer and author Mitchell Kanashkevich who's been traveling for quite some time now and decided to write these instructive books about his journeys as well as to teach some of his experiences.

I confess that I've read it and it is a great book in deed as I now keep it on my iPad as a learning tool since it's on a pdf format and it's much easier to carry around when traveling.

What you can get from this book? just take a quick look at the pic of the Contents page below.



And if you are too curious about it just check some content at the below photo.



Who is This Book Good For? If you have ever thought “I wish I knew how they did that” when you saw a professional travel magazine shot, then you will love the exact, detailed explanations of every part of the process of getting these award winning shots.

This guide lays open the whole playbook of a professional travel photographer in minute detail. Nothing is held back. If you want to know more of the real basics of travel documentary photography (like actually communicating with the locals in another language for example) then there will be plenty in this practical guide for you too.

More about the Author,

New Ebook "100% Reliable Flash Photography"

Fellow photographer Ed Verosky released his second Ebook 100% Reliable Flash Photography!.

In it, he covers a variety of topics and techniques designed to help photographers to consistently create high-quality images with minimal gear. There are over 60 pages of information, shooting strategies, diagrammed techniques, and examples.

He wrote the book to provide pro and semi-pro photographers with a fast, no-nonsense guide for getting amazing light just about anywhere, anytime. This book is about gaining the skill and confidence you need to create great images with the most basic and available lighting sources. The idea is to completely eliminate the stress of not being sure of what to do in a new or fast-moving environment. That makes it a perfect read for wedding, event, editorial, and portrait photographers.

100% Reliable Flash Photography centers on a strategy of standardization. The first part of the book covers relevant lighting and gear knowledge mostly focusing on how to do some really good work with a simple on-camera flash, or even basic household lighting. There are also off-camera flash techniques including detailed instructions for a basic two-light manual setup that I almost always use for editorial work. This leads into the core chapter, standardization, where he talks about how to make your gear easier to use and eventually master it. The book continues with techniques, examples and diagrams for indoor and outdoor lighting, then several “back stories” quickly detailing shoots with several of the portrait subjects featured in the book.

If you’re looking for a way to make your portrait, editorial, or event photography easier, then you should get a copy of 100% Reliable Flash Photography.

You can follow his work at his blog posted regularly with lots of lighting schemes and information about lighting better your subjects here.
